Thanks to Jaime and Josh and family for being so hospitable. I brought 4 cans of arizona iced tea with me - they were pretty much gone before I even parked. Josh and Jaime were practically forcing waters and gatorades and cokes and hot dogs and sausages and HONEYBUNS on us! Thanks for that! At one point it looked like a lunch truck had pulled up at a worksite, there were so many people getting food and drink!

Can't wait to see their cars entered in the next one!!

Mike posted the pics above, but they're also on my site(and without the damn photobucket compressing the images):

I didnt leave the event till 5:30. Got to say a brief hello to Max. Real cool guy and a really nice car. Wish I couldve gotten to meet some more of you guys.

My only complaint is there wasnt enough. To look at cars you had to walk forever, more vendor booths to look at things would be nice. It was just empty space. But the cars were awesome. My dream car, and one of the main reasons I went was the Carrera GT. As I was waiting to turn onto 41, the last stretch of the road, I watched it pass infront of me leaving the event. Got sooo pissed off!

But cant wait for the next one, Ill def run my car for fun. I have videos of the TT Ford GT, Max's 35th LE, the white TA with black rims, Ferrari 599 GTB, whatever badass Mercedes that was and a Black C6 Z06. Ill post a few.


Edit: how can I upload videos on here?

Welcome the feedback, I've had plenty already, mainly focused on times and more vendors, both which are being addressed before the next event.

I'd love to get the vid you have of my car.

Next event is tentatively set for Jan 17th. Will confirm by mid next week.

Ya just sent everything to Max, I have it all on youtube, just dont know how to do it in a post like Max just did.

BTW, if you did a presale, Id pay for it now. Dont want to miss out next time, esp in cooler weather

Just watched that video. Cant believe that hood on the Vette! I was wondering why he had no hood when I got there

I have to agree with you bro', some people need to STFU when they do not know the facts. The Saturn is badass, based on CI/Displacement I think it beat all others, except for the bikes, on Sunday.
Good to meet you Eric, look forward to doing it again.

Here is a video of one of my four runs, not sure if it was my 162mph, which I hit with a passenger, so at 4,300+lbs I am sure the Caddy surprised a few of you:

Thanks to both Jamie/Vera MS and Johan/DiabloSport, as they have always been more than dedicated in making sure my CTS-V is a beast.

Yeah, that sucked....maybe that coulda/shoulda been edited out of the compilation video....I say the guy shooting the Vid needs to step it up and tell us what kind of cool car he went down the mile in.
I got money that says its not quite as cool as a 380fwhp Turbocharged Saturn!

Thanks Max for putting up the videos. Sry about my friend. He wanted to make a damn comment on everything, or even on the C5 video, be in it. I told him after he needed to shut up.

And I agree about the Saturn. That thing sounded and moved badass. And thats the least of the bad cars, like that white honda with whatever engine he had in it.

That is not a STS-V, that is a 2005 CTS-V Millenium Falcon one-off special that spits out Ferraris and dines on Lambos, tell that dude who make the vid much thanks, but I need to get publicity when its mine.
JFWY, thanks for sharing.

No problem, thank you very much for sharing the video with us. I guess the next time we are out there we need to find a spot where the entire run can be captured, I guess someone sells a camcorder with special lenses to do that.
